Head coach Mike Johnston had a few updates on the game...

  • Johnston confirmed that defenseman Kris Letang has a concussion. He's been released from the hospital, but will not be in the lineup tonight.
  • Johnston said the team will go with five defensemen for the game and, if need be, Winnik could drop back to defense if needed.
  • Perron is doubtful for the game and "probably out" per Johnston. He missed Saturday's 3-2 win against Arizona with an illness.

Below, watch the hit on Letang who tumbled into the end boards...
